RAF Reaper MQ-9 Remotely Piloted Air System

A Reaper MQ-9 Remotely Piloted Air System (RPAS) prepares for take-off in Afghanistan.
Remotely Piloted Air System (RPAS) are growing in importance and the RAF formed 39 Sqn at Creech Air Force Base in Nevada in 2007 to operate RAF MQ-9 PREDATOR B REAPER aircraft alongside the USAF squadrons. The UK has purchased a number of Reaper aircraft in support of UK ground forces in Afghanistan under the Reaper Urgent Operational Requirement (REAPER UOR).
Reaper, operated by REAL RAF pilots, provides real-time video imagery to ground commanders and has the capability to attack ground targets if required.
The RAF and UK MoD has also taken the first step towards the next generation of Unmanned Combat Air Systems (UCAS).
Project TARANIS, a joint MoD/BAESYSTEMS (plus other key UK industrial partners) venture, was unveiled in 2010 and a demonstrator is due to fly in 2011 in Woomera, Australia and it will be used to evaluate how RPAS/UCAS will contribute to the RAFs future mix of aircraft

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the powerful presence of the RAF Reaper MQ-9 Remotely Piloted Air System (RPAS) as it prepares for take-off in Afghanistan. These remotely piloted aircraft have become increasingly significant, leading to the formation of 39 Sqn at Creech Air Force Base in Nevada by the RAF in 2007. This allowed them to operate alongside USAF squadrons and utilize the capabilities of the RAF MQ-9 PREDATOR B REAPER aircraft. Purchased under the Reaper Urgent Operational Requirement (REAPER UOR), these Reapers support UK ground forces in Afghanistan. Operated by skilled RAF pilots, they provide real-time video imagery to ground commanders and possess attack capabilities if necessary. Looking towards future advancements, both the RAF and UK MoD have embarked on Project TARANIS - a joint venture with BAESYSTEMS and other key UK industrial partners. Unveiled in 2010, this project aims to develop Unmanned Combat Air Systems (UCAS). A demonstrator is set to fly in Woomera, Australia in 2011, allowing evaluation of how RPAS/UCAS will contribute to shaping the future mix of aircraft within the RAF. This print not only showcases an impressive piece of military technology but also represents a glimpse into what lies ahead for unmanned aerial systems within armed forces operations.
